"Erming, we've introduced you to quite a few people these past few months, and you haven't liked a single one? You and Dalinzi, really, can't you give your mother and me a break?"

These children, one by one, are all unwilling to obey and get married.

Let them go and look at the options, and they obediently went, only to come back saying they didn't like any of them.

Tell me, I really wish I could strangle them.

"Dad, I'm very cooperative, but the ones I've introduced aren't very good." Shen Erming shrugged, indicating that the responsibility wasn't on him.

The women he was introduced to were either young widows who had to raise several children for others.

Or they are old maids who have been waiting for many years because of the high dowry.

And then there are those with eccentric temperaments...

In short, there really aren't many good ones.

Not only did Shen Erming not like her, but neither did Tian Guifen and her husband.

"...Actually, among all the women I introduced you to, Xiao Lanfang was the best person. It's a pity, though, that she has three sons... and her previous in-laws weren't easy to get along with..."

This means there will be a lot of trouble and problems in the future.

Moreover, Shen Erming has already suffered lasting damage because of the Tian family's affairs, so he keeps his distance from such families.

Thinking of that clean, efficient, and determined woman, a hint of admiration flashed in Shen Erming's eyes.

But all that's left is to appreciate it.

"Lanfang will probably be hard to find someone to marry in the future. She has never had a good life."

Wang Xiuhe sighed.

Her maternal grandmother's family and Xiao Lanfang's maternal grandmother's family were from the same village.

When I was little, I always loved playing with Lanfang when I visited my maternal grandmother's house. She was a kind-hearted older sister, but unfortunately... she had a bad life.

"A woman's biggest fear is marrying the wrong person..." Tian Guifen sighed.

As women, they could better understand the hardships Xiao Lanfang had endured.

However, despite their sympathy, neither Tian Guifen nor Wang Xiuhe ever considered having Shen Erming marry her.

When it comes to their own family's interests, people always prioritize their own.

"Yes, it's not easy being a woman."

Shen Liuliu also sighed deeply from the side.

She imitated Tian Guifen's sighing manner perfectly.

"You little rascal, you've had it all." Tian Guifen hugged and kissed her daughter affectionately.

Her little girl is simply a lucky charm; how could she possibly have any difficulties?

That's what everyone thinks too.

Shen Liuliu shook her little head, scratched her limp hair, then stood up, put her hands behind her back, and walked around like an old man, swaying unsteadily: "You wouldn't understand."

How can adults understand a baby's sadness?

Who could understand the devastation she felt, as a fully mobile adult being reincarnated as a baby who couldn't even control her own bowel movements and urination?

Sigh, she's had it so tough.

"Hahaha."

The whole family burst into laughter.

Shen Yishan suddenly said, "Won't Laifu be delivering osmanthus wine again tomorrow?"

The men exchanged glances and nodded with smiles: "Yes, it's time."

After laying the groundwork for so long and spending so much money, it's time to reap the rewards.

As Tian Guifen peeled sunflower seeds for her daughter, she also complained, "The village chief is really too outrageous these days."

He not only embezzled money from them, but also directly asked for alcohol, which he then delivered to people.

There's also the matter of Li Xiaoxi.

I heard that Li Xiaoxi got pregnant last month, but Hu Si insisted on forcing her to abort the child. Even the village chief's daughter-in-law got into a fight with Li Xiaoxi and ended up aborting her child.

It's simply a sin.

When Li Xiaoxi was in confinement after childbirth, the village chief and his son Laifu visited her two or three times, and then a lot of rumors started circulating.

Rumors had been circulating for a while, but the village chief's wife could keep quiet about it. However, the daughter-in-law was a different story.

At first, they reluctantly agreed, but Li Xiaoxi took advantage of their kindness and insisted on demanding more money, even showing off in front of the woman's wife.

After this commotion happened several times, everyone gradually realized that something was wrong.

Especially at the beginning, Li Dahe's wife made a fuss about separating the family, but later she suddenly stopped. The couple treated Li Guihua and her daughter, especially Li Xiaoxi, like royalty.

Later, everyone guessed that Li Xiaoxi had squeezed money out of Laifu, the village chief's son, so Li Dahe had tasted the sweetness and tolerated it.

Many times when people were gossiping there, Tian Guifen would want to say, "You guys are so ignorant."

Is Li Xiaoxi and Laifu in a hurry?

It's clearly a father and son together!

But Tian Guifen could only keep quiet.

That feeling of knowing a secret but not being able to tell it is truly agonizing.

Later, Tian Guifen couldn't help but talk to her daughter-in-law, Wang Xiuhe, about it, and they chatted excitedly.

Wang Xiuhe was shocked and almost miscarried, as the two babies were kicking and punching inside her.

Tian Guifen was so frightened that she was dumbfounded.

Afterwards, Shen Wanli also gave Tian Guifen a severe scolding.

Tian Guifen vividly remembers this incident and feels even more disgusted with the village chief. She believes that her two beloved grandsons beat and kicked him because they thought the village chief was too shameless.

"Alright, let's not talk about this in front of the children."

Shen Wanli's tone was relaxed.

The village chief has become increasingly greedy lately, and it's time to get rid of this pest.

Shen Liuli patted her chest proudly and said, "I'm smart!"

She came up with the idea!

She's just a child.

"Yes, yes, my daughter is the smartest." Shen Wanli praised his daughter without any reluctance.

"Yes."

Tian Guifen was too lazy to even roll her eyes anymore. Only the father and son in the whole family were still enjoying it; everyone else had had enough of watching.

"Ah He, don't lie down anymore. It's snowing outside and you can't go out. Just walk around inside. The doctor said you need to move around more so that you won't have a difficult delivery."

"Mother, I understand."

Wang Xiuhe sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) with her pregnant belly. Shen Yishan immediately got up to put her shoes on and then carefully helped his wife down.

Watching her older brother and sister-in-law stroll around the house, Shen Liuliu, resting her chubby little face on her hand, exclaimed, "Wow, this is what love looks like!"

"puff."

"You little rascal."

Everyone was amused by Shen Liuliu.

This child is getting smarter and smarter.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the gate outside the courtyard.

Shen Wanli threw on his clothes and went out to open the door. He returned excitedly a moment later, shouting, "Wife, come out quickly, it's An'an..."

An An?

Before Shen Liuliu could react, Shen Tiantian had already jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), put on her shoes, and run out.

I almost bumped into Tian Guifen at the door.

"Oh dear, Tian Tian, ​​why aren't you dressed? Slow down!" Tian Guifen quickly grabbed Tian Tian's clothes and followed her out.

Shen Liuliu also ran out after her.

Wu Tiao was as excited as a monkey: "Oh, An An is here!"

The whole family was excited when they heard the news of An'an's arrival.
